## The Infrastructure Behind a Life-Saving Cause

Swab The World advocates for greater diversity in global stem cell donor registries, with a focus on underrepresented ethnic minorities. Kffein contributed pro bono to building their bilingual platform by handling back-end development and CMS integration before taking on hosting and ongoing platform evolution.

## Context and challenges

**Context**

A leukemia patient's survival often depends on finding a compatible stem cell donor. Yet global registries are critically short of donors from ethnic minorities, drastically reducing survival odds for thousands of people around the world. Swab The World set out to change that.

**Stakes**

The project required a clear user experience aimed at the organization’s diverse audiences (patients, families, potential donors, and institutional partners), autonomous content management in both French and English, and a reliable infrastructure capable of supporting the foundation's long-term growth.

Our approach

### A bilingual platform with full editorial autonomy

The Craft CMS integration provides the Swab The World team with complete autonomy over content management in both French and English, with no technical limitations. All sections can be quickly and easily updated by the organization's internal team.

### A lasting commitment

This project was completed entirely pro bono and the relationship between Swab The World and Kffein is ongoing. Since launching, Kffein has handled platform hosting and continues to support the foundation through all its evolutions.

### A deep, technical partnership

Kffein handled back-end development and Craft CMS integration, while partner agency Locomotive led UX, design, and front-end development. Sharing responsibilities allowed both agencies the opportunity to focus on their specific areas of expertise.
